- Yes! That is partly what I was getting at when I mentioned the effects that
- listening to many personal accounts of NDE's had on people like Moody,
- Morse, Ring, and Kubler-Ross. For those of us who have not heard many
- personal narratives of NDE's, simply reading excerpts of accounts in books
- by the above authors is quite impressive. The NDE-ers were almost without
- exception profoundly moved and changed by the experience, and their
- descriptions of the experience have made a deep impact on the interviewers.
- There are a number of accounts of the attending physicians being shaken by
- the accounts given by patients they rescue from near-death.
